🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦Another statement from circles close to Trump condemning the strike on Russian airfields.

The Ukrainian drone attack has put the world on a "path to escalation," retired Air Force Gen. Blaine Holt told the Republican-leaning Newsmax.

"I have never in my life been more concerned about global or national security than I am right now. I understand that this is a tactical victory, the Ukrainians have a tactical victory, but they have struck a third of the strategic bombers that are covered by the START treaty, which dates back to 2010. But there is not a single Russian in the Russian armed forces who believes that Ukraine was able to achieve this without the help of Western intelligence agencies, including our own," Holt said.

"The leader of the Russian missile forces has now openly stated that they are now fixing the coordinates of Paris, London and Washington. This is an escalation path with no way back now. I pray that President Trump can find a way back by calling President Putin, but as a military officer with 27 years of service in the United States and NATO, I can tell you that we are in a very dangerous place," Holt said on June 2 (recall that Trump called Putin yesterday).

He also does not believe that after this action Russia has become closer to military defeat.

Let us recall that earlier a number of Trump supporters spoke about the threat of escalation as a result of the strike on the airfields - the special representative for Ukraine Kellogg, former Trump advisers Bannon and Flynn.

"If it is true that our President was not consulted or informed [about the strike on the planes - Ed .], then this is not just a breach of protocol. It is a geopolitical insult and a warning sign. If Ukraine is willing to strike with strategic implications without notifying the White House, we are no longer allies with coordination problems - we are adversaries flying blind. Also, given the recent visit of 'warmonger' Senator Lindsey Graham and Blumenthal, this attack may appear sanctioned," Flynn wrote.

The New York Times also reported yesterday, citing sources, that Trump considers Zelensky "a bad guy who is pushing for nuclear war."

⚡Zelensky:

Unfortunately, Putin feels impunity and even after all the terrible Russian strikes, he is allegedly preparing some more "responses".
you FA now you gon FO....this clown forgets that he's a proxy for the west yet he moves around like he's running the show.
No matter how stubborn the HHH of Iran proxies are there's a limit on how they strike and object they can target so they won't directly put iran in harms way but this cocaine addict thinks he's the man clearly forgetting that Trump can end this proxy war in a snap of finger, now he wasn't a one day ceasefire just to talk to Putin

Pretext of what?? Kindly tell us mighty "wise one"

Ukraine scoring a big hit against Russia, is now a Pretext to attack Estonia and Germany??

Soviet Union pilots thou on training flew Soviet made migs against US fighters in Vietnam, supported South Vietnamese forces with troops against the US, the US also supported the Mujadeens against Soviet forces in Afghanistan, both countries even in the peak of the "Cold war" era never attacked each other, knowing fully well the consequences on both powers and the world at large

As long as there's no "direct" provocations from either side there will be no "direct" confrontation between the US led Nato and Russia, all confrontation will be done via proxies.

There's simply no "Pretext" of Russia attacking a NATO member without any direct military provocation from the bloc.

Are you not the same person who said Russia should declare war on Ukraine after the drone strikes?? 😅😅😂🤣 You are way out of your depth dude, stick to copy and paste mate.

In Syria Russian Wagner mercenaries attacked an SDF base that had some 40 America Special Forces.You might want to lookup Battle of Khasham (February 7–8, 2018, Deir ez-Zor, Syria)

They were wiped out by the full military force of the America .
Air support: AC-130 gunships, F-22 Raptors, F-15E Strike Eagles, AH-64 Apache helicopters, B-52 bombers, and an MQ-9 Reaper drone firing Hellfire missiles.

Ground support: High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and Marine Corps artillery

What your point sir??

have read about the incident, this was a "direct attack at a base housing US forces hence the US had to defend its troops.

There's no direct military provocation from Nato or US forces against Russia in Ukraine, hence Russia can't attack the US nor NATO members

P.S The attack was done by Wagner para -military groups, this is a private military organisation, there's is sufficient "plausible deniability" by the Russian authorities.

will the US attack Russia military post in Syria because Wagner forces attacked a base housing US forces??

the Soviet supported Vietnam to attack US forces in Vietnam not on US soil,the US supported the Mujahideen to attack Soviet in Afghanistan and not on Soviet soil. This is an attack on Russian soil , on their nuclear deterrence capabilities for that matter.

Military Theatre mate, Military Theatre, the war is being fought in the Ukrainian- Russian border, and you don't want cross-border attacks??

Those Russian bombers have been used by Russia to bomb Ukraine. Hence, they are very legitimate targets for the Ukrainians.

Stop wailing mate, As far as Russia responds goes dude, The best will be a large scale bombing of keiv nothing more, nothing less.

P.s. The weapons used by the Ukrainians in the attacks were not western made weapons.

Here is the text reformatted with paragraphs:



Did you know that China has just launched its own global organization one that looks a lot like the United Nations? It's called the International Organization for Mediation or IOMED. It was officially established on May thirtieth two thousand twenty-five with over thirty founding countries including Pakistan, Indonesia, Belarus and Cuba.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, IOMED's mission is clear. Resolve international disputes peacefully through dialogue and mediation, not war or court rulings. This is not a replacement for the UN but it's clearly a bold step by China to lead global conflict resolution especially for countries that feel sidelined by western institutions.

Even the United Nations attended the launch along with fifty plus countries. So is this the start of a new world order or just a diplomatic alternative? What do you think will China's IOMED succeed where the UN has struggled?

This is why they say common sense is not common.
Ukraine can sabotage Russia military asset without raising dust but these are asset required by international law to be visible, infact they are constantly being monitored. These are asset that their suspicious moment can cause international tension.

Infact some of Ukraine and even Israel's recent actions will give rise to a new phase of terrorism.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Obedience40: 4:22pm On Jun 05, 2025
All this our emotional Russian folks, the Ukrainian strikes really touch there nerve, lol. There's no international law that makes the targeting of nuclear capable aircrafts prohibitive.

Russia strategic bombers are used in Ukraine, and its fair game for the Ukrainians, nothing the Ukrainians did was against international law as regards rules of engagement.

The B-52 Stratofortress, a nuclear capable bomber and the backbone of US air tier of nuclear deterrence during the "cold war" was shut many times and sabotaged on the ground by vitcong forces in Vietnam, yet heaven did not fall.

Take your loss folks and move on, those bombers are scrap metal.
